VS Powder Blue

This one definitely gave Art some aggravation but in the end he really rose to the challenge.

More in Art's Hall of Fame...

The detail on that hat is EXQUISITE!! The high crown is the perfect height with the perfect 20's side dent bash. The thick ribbon is perfect for the hat and then the thinner bow thats tied off like an open road is not only unique, but ingenious. I LOVE IT!!! AWESOME!!

Awesome!! Looks perfect on you. Since I know someone else will ask what are the brim/crown specs?

Can't wait to get my Art...

:arated:

Who's idea/design was that ribbon? I think I have to have a hat made with the exact design.

Wow! RLK, that VS is STELLAR!

My first ever fur-felt and first ever Stetson. The guy at the local hat shop was stumped as to when this was made and exactly what type of style it is meant for. The brim being all the way up makes it look kind of like a pork of a bowler. Any help is appreciated!

USPS truck showed up at the house about 5:30pm yesterday with my latest lid. I finally broke down and got a lid not in the earth ( ie brownish) color tones and got another Stylemaster from DM in the Charcoal Grey. First let me say, contrary to what has been said around here, this color is NOT anywhere near black! It is a nice TRUE CHARCOAL GREY and it will be relegated to my dark blue/black suit hat ! As is on my Mid Brown Stylemaster, it says "Imperial" on the liner but the felt on these hats is NO WHERE near the same as is on my other "Imperial" grade Akubras. It is thinner, much, much SMOOTHER and the finish on the felt is BETTER than on them. It also has a much SOFTER hand to it than they do. I don't know what makes for the difference, but is very obvious and I LIKE IT Here's DMs pic for ya till I can borrow a digital camera for my own shots

and as always, Onward thru the Fog

monbla256: The charcoal Stylemasters are definitely one of my favorites. I know you will look great in it. Post some pics wearing it when you get a change, if you are so inclined.

RLK: those last 3 hats are outstanding additions to an already outstanding collection of fine fedoras. Congratulations.:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Looks like a Stetson Stingy with a higher flanged brim to me. I would say mid 60's on that one, but I have been wrong before. If the brim can snap down, it kind of gives the side profile of the hat a wave look. The higher flanged brims looks a bit different than some of the flatter ones when snapped.

Thats a great looking lid monbla256. Very nice dimensions.

I had someone tell me it may be a Honburg any thoughts?

 

[Jedwbpm]

Looks like a stingy brim too me. Homburg would have a fancy bound edge.

If you can snap the brim, its not a homburg. That would be the stingiest homburg ive ever seen. Im pretty sure the brim is just flanged high like that. I used to have a couple hats like that, but I dont wear stingys anymore.

It does have a bound edge all the way round

Not a Homburg brim flanging(no inward curl) just an up-brim on the stingy side. Will snap very steeply in front if you are insistent.

 

[Joshbru3]

A good chunk of all the hats on the lounge have a bound edge. That alone doesnt designate a Homburg.

Hmmm this hat is gonna be a mystery as to how to wear it
